Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
Scuffed up my front bumper to remove a little oxidation from sitting after getting blasted, then started in with the sealer and black topcoat.
Time for the door speakers to go in and completes work on the door. Got lucky enough to get some plenum-rated speaker wire for free, and as a bonus, its blue Testing them off the head unit only, there is a MASSIVE improvement. The new door panels and lower panels deaden the sounds MUCH better, and the new carpet etc helps keep it all from rattling around. Considering it was hu power only, windows down, no windshield in and door 6x9's only, I was massively impressed with the sound. Once the console and 6.5 components are in place with the amp, I will have tunes loud enough to hear clearly over my rediculous exhaust note.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
Put the front bumper back on, and she's assembled fully sans the windscreen. Took a bunch of misc pics with her cleaned up a bit more.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
Awesome, but you will have bugs in your teeth until you get the windscreen in
Nice close up pics, how about a few from back a ways, give us the full affect...

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
Well alright then, I do have some full shots now that the windshield is back in place. The first go-round it ended up breaking RIGHT as it seated into the bead. The guys at the glass place felt bad so they hooked it up with a new one at cost. Not bad for a brand new, nice and thick windshield, and they even got the tinted one, as I preferred.
I have another pair of wheels getting powdercoated black to match the other accessories and should have them later in the week. ****Video Walk-around *******

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
Truck is looking and sounding great! How are you liking those MT? Are they worth the money do you think? I was looking at them and they are $$$!

The M/T are prob one of the best tires out there. To be honest, I havent' actually tracked the truck, so I've never done the proper burnout procedure and tried to launch on them....I need to wait till the new shifter is in and I get my overdrive setting changed before I run it. As far as street driving on them goes, they are a pretty good street tire, and considering the cost of ANY tire for a 12+ wide wheel, they aren't that bad. I've got about 3400 miles on this set, and they have been just fine as a street tire except 2 things. 1. because of the size (and the suspension on the truck...they "bounce" a bit 2. Rain..its evil, but I can keep the truck straight on the highway in a downpour....but emergency stops and starting off in a puddle is tough (i try to avoid that obvisouly.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
This is only a 1-pic update as its a holiday weekend, and I've just been driving her around a little.
I had the wiper arms that I painted a while back with everything else, and finally got some new blades so I could re-install them. This is the final piece of exterior time (sans the wheels at powdercoaters) that could be re-installed, officially having the truck "together". I also had to cut and re-weld the arm on my Kilduff shifter, since Mr. Kilduff doesn't seem to know how to properly use a tape measure. Should be installing it this week, pics will come then.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
Ya, well it get fall-ish early up here, and that tree just sucks. It always drops crap on my truck.
As I mentioned, I had to mod my new shifter since It was made to the wrong height. Looks like my welds are improving

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
Hooked my shifter up, and bolted it down. I really like the 'gate' that it has. My old shifter worked fine, but this is more positive as it more or less locks into each position, and has a spring feel to the handle. I also opted for the reverse lockout so I don't do anything stupid by accident.
Side note; I was using a drill-socket adapter thingy that I had extra from a Ryobi drill kit. What a piece of garbage. Installing a self tapping screw for the shifter.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
Did most of the cutting and test fitting of my Synthetic decking for the bed. This is just test fit over the plywood. I still need to pull the plywood out, drill and secure these, and cut the little filler pieces for the edges.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
My bed is going to be multi-piece, so I can access the under bed fuel cell. I was working on the rear main portion today. I had to take a bed support, cut it down , and weld it and a square tube spacer to the crossmember, so the "wood" sits even in the bed. Because of its thickness and difference in width, it lines up a lot differently than normal.
Then it was a matter of lining up, drilling, syncing, bolting and repeating. I need to finish off the ends, and do the rear portion this weekend.

What kind of hose is that, and what kind of connection is that brass swivel? I would want to make an improvement there.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
You're welcome to make any improvements to my truck that you'd like. Just send me a powerpoint on what you'd like to change, and funding for the parts to my paypal account. Please allow 15-30 days for changes to occur, no refunds, if multiple ideas are submitted for the same thing I reserve the right to pick. That is fuel injection rated braided fuel hose, the kind of stuff you would normally fix an AN fitting to. While a 90* AN fitting and shortening the hose up would be prettier and more "correct", the setup is not really a hazard.
The fitting itself is an AN to hose barb fitting, as for why its brass, thats what came in the box when I ordered it. The line is a RETURN line, and that is a fuel injection rated clamp holding it in place. I understand your concern since its on a fuel system, but its all FI rated stuff, proper connections and correct clamps etc, on the lower pressure side of a return fuel system.
